Did Israel intentionally destroy all of Gaza’s hospitals early on in the war to increase the damage done to Hamas? According to reporter Robert Inlakesh, it was only two months into the war in Gaza when not one single functional hospital was left standing in the north of the territory.

Inlakesh used ABC News as the source but was the destruction of the hospitals intentionally done with the help of the United States? Obviously, the U.S. has been helping Israel in the war with weapons provisions and financial contributions. And while the United States ruling class attempts to lecture the world about its supposed “rules-based order,” it insists the slaves abide by, its aiding, arming, and providing diplomatic cover for Israel’s unprecedented assault and murderous rampage on Gaza’s already collapsed healthcare system. Israel’s attacks, justified by Washington in some cases, have resulted in the territory being left without a single functional hospital.

One month later, there were only seven out of 12 hospitals in southern Gaza that remained even partially functional. Today, there is not a single functioning hospital in the entirety of Gaza, with some medics still trying to use the facilities that haven’t been destroyed by bombardment for shelter in which to treat patients with limited supplies, often to no avail.

After only five months of the now nine-month-long war, over 1,013 Israeli attacks on healthcare facilities were recorded in the occupied Palestinian territories, breaking United Nations records.

This is not the first time that it was noticed that Israel appears to be targeting hospitals.

Medics in Gaza Accuse Israel of Targeting Ambulances, Hospitals, and Healthcare Facilities

Israel has killed more than 500 Palestinian healthcare workers in Gaza since the beginning of the war. To put this in perspective, between 2011 and 2024, 949 medical professionals in total were said to have been killed during the Syrian war, with the worst year on record seeing the deaths of almost 200, according to Physicians for Human Rights. That means healthcare workers are being killed in Gaza at a rate around nine times greater than the yearly average during the war in Syria. According to the UN, “more healthcare workers have been killed in Gaza since October than were reported killed in all conflicts globally in 2021 and 2022 combined.” –Robert Inlakesh via RT

Israel Strikes Gaza Hospital Killing Hundreds Of People

Hospitals have openly been declared primary targets of the Israeli military’s ground offensive. In November, Israel built a case to invade Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital. The Israeli army claimed the hospital was above a multi-layered tunnel system being used by Hamas, and they even released a CGI video depicting such.  The U.S. government then backed Israeli claims that the hospital was being used as a terrorist headquarters, as airstrikes repeatedly rained down upon civilians in the complex’s courtyard.

Some experts also attributed this to the collapse of the healthcare system, stating that the deaths of children “from malnutrition and dehydration indicates that health and social structures have been attacked and are critically weakened.”

The U.S. knows what’s going on and that hospitals are being destroyed, and its ruling class continues to help Israel with the destruction. So is it deliberate? Maybe. It certainly does not look good on Israel or the U.S.
